I Can't remember off the top of my head but you edit the line that says something like fake-provides or something like that.. I'm on a Windoze at work so I can't be more specific Cheers, .^.

I would like to keep a running package, kernel#2.4.20-20.9drbl, which is compiled by me. Is that possible to run it like apt-get remove -o RPM::Hold::="kernel#2.4.20-20.9drbl" kernel.*#.*drbl I tried, but apt still asked me to confirm that if I want to remove kernel#2.4.20-20.9drbl. Does anyone know how to make it ? Or how can I use regular expression to make it ? Thanks in advance. -- Say YES to Openoffice.org (www.openoffice.org, openoffice.nchc.org.tw).
